C.—(ANP)—The case of Ben Bess, who served 15 years of a life sentence for criminally assaulting a woman recently recorded when the woman declared that he was innocent, has caused quite a stir in this state and citizens here and elsewhere are seeking some answers which he has spent in prison. Suggests Purchase of Home One white woman, who did not sign her name, wrote to the South Carolina State, a white daily, suggesting that the state purchase a home and farm for Beta. Her letter was as follows: In the case of Ben Bess, who was betrayed and falsely accused by a woman with a little house on a few acres of land would be very little for the state for the host of the thirteenth best of his life and the shame of being criminal Implements to cultivate the land for a year—not much but it would make him so independent and happy. The woman What If He Had Been Hanged? Another white woman raised the question whether a male role would do if Beverly had been handed the拍击 by the protection. She pointed out this phase of the case as an argument for capital punishment pointing out: "That is the outstanding weakness in the current case there is no opportunity to prosecute a man being proverbially adicted to the crime, but he should have been punished. It is also proper that so far as possible restitution should be given to a man which he suffered." Answering the query as to what provision could be made in such a case, she noted that there was no legal way in which the state might make a gift of any kind to Beverly, as the case was without the governor, however, stated that no way was found, he would appoint a judge to decide the contributions for the purpose of making restitution to the unfortunate NORDIC ASSAULTS COLORED WOMAN IN WESTERN CITY Los Angeles, Calif.—(ANP) Mr. Nannie Bryant was the victim of a malicious street by a white man on Colorado Street when she was jolted about, besides being insulted by the brute.

Convention Hall, Dallas, Texas, May 22, 1928.—One of the most riotous and tumultuous gatherers ever held in this city, or perhaps this state during recent years by the Texas Republicans, was staged here today at the City Hall auditorium, when bedlam broke loose during the viva vote vote on the submission of the majority and minority reports on the temporary roll of the convention, the former being submitted by the Creager-Nolte bloc, and the latter being introduced by the Wurzbach-Littleton-McDonald fact, with Captain John E. Elgin of San Antonio, former Texas ranger and pictureque, pioneer Texas Republican, offering the minority report which offered the name of C. C. Littleton of Fort Worth as temporary chairman of the convention. The majority report recommended Orville Bullington of Wichita Falls as temporary chairman. When Captain Elgin insisted that his motion, adopting the minority report, had carried by acclamation, he immediately recognized C. C. Littleton as chairman, at which point R. B. Creager of Brownville, national committeeman from Texas, and Eugene Nolte of Seguin, state chairman, called police officers, who were patrolling both the interior and exterior of the convention hall, to the rostrum to eject Captain Elgin, Littleton and Harry Beck of Dallas from the convention hall. Their ejections were followed by the withdrawal of the Wurzbach forces, who mobilized their forces in the corridors of the convention hall and perfected their temporary organization. The situation grew both dramatic and tense when the rift, which had been caused by the withdrawal of the Creager-Nolte combine had decided the contests on the previous day, and the hopeless fight waged by Littleton and Elgin, members of the Creager-Nolte executive committee against what they termed as the "high-handed manner in seating the convention, the following counties having Negroes on their delegations; the reward of hostilities Tuesday and a split in the convention.

Because of the fact that Texas Negroes measure, are favorable to the House, they face the fact that to some the House is in belief of the commerce secretary's nomination, it was quite a blow to the member of their race was listed even as an alternate, and when no one would object to the election of a delegate, which were no color delegates, the Wurzbach forces were jubilant with this action on the part of the contests and credentials committees at the Creamers' party, organization the Grace party, and hostile to colored Republicans.

PAGE TWO—FIRST IN EDITORIALS Expose Firestone's Method In Africa; Loan Is Criticized Washington, D. C.—(ANP)—In a book recently published last week by the Macmillan Company, and written under the auspices of the Committee of International Research of Howard University, on the native American population, former assistant professor of government and new research director of the Foreign Policy Association publishes for the first time a detailed account of the Firestone rubber conventions in Liberia and the new American ban.

The report states that the deliberately declassified EU European plantations from the west coast of Africa believing that they are detrimental to the States government has thrown its weight in the fire of this system as opposed to the In negotiating for his million-acre concessions, Mr. Firestone, "according to the government contract a seven per cent loan of $5,000,000. Only half of all of its proceeds, except for several hundred thousand dollars is being used in outstanding obligations of the Liberian government of lowering interest charges this refining operation actually increases the loan which would have been paid off in the first year, which will not expire until 1961. The Firestone loan agreement therefore increases Liberia's interest charges by $100,000,000, life of her indebtedness fifteen years. The loan agreement also authorizes the president of the United States" to supervise the collection of the internal government contract of Liberia, and to articulate agreements. "Mr. Firestone's insistence on this decision has been due to a desire to exclude the possibility of a French or British control over the country which would impair his investment in the country, according to this report, unanimous agreement. But the government finally agreed that it became of alleged pressure of the French to force the government for the last few years Liberia has been engaged in a boundary dispute with France over the village of Zinta; the French government was led to believe that if it threatened her independence, it threatened her independence, it would accuse the government of the threat.

They not only rejected the kingdom but the Son who was King; there taken from them and given to a nation born forth of the fruits thereof. I. The Son of Man Coming In. This is part of the well known Olivet discourse. It gives a prophetic view of the course of time for Christ. This is the crucial criticism to the second advent of Christ. Two great facts are before us: the taking place of destruction of Jerusalem and the second coming of Christ. The one was near, having taken place within forty years, and the other is still future. The order of events as outlined are: A moral condition of the world (v. 133). This pictures the present age and the result of the presaching the gospel in this age many shall come to receive many. There shall be wars and rumors of wars. Nation shall be pitied with the kingdom, with kingship in divers places, accompanied with famine and sickness, with death, which shall be persecuted and arranged before rulers and kings. Brother shall betray brother to death and the faction against him. This will be against their parents and cause them to be put to death. The preachers of the gospel shall be hated for Christ's sake. The 2 days of the tribulation (vv. 14, 23) This time the Antidictor will appear according to the prophecy of Daniel. So severe will be the persecution that except the Lord shortened the days of the prophecy for the eel's sake the days shall be shortened. This great advent (vv. 243, 244) This shall be preceded by great physical disturbances in the world. The moon shall be darkened, the sun shall be obscured, the earth shall they see the Son of Man coming in the clouds with great power. The earth shall they elect from the innermost parts of the earth and heaven. 4. Instructions in view of the coming of Christ (vv. 232-234). The day and the hour of the film come are unknown to man. In view of this uncertainty we should watch and prepare. III. Warnings. Running through the thirteenth chapter is the exhortation to take heed. In teaching the lesson it would be good to gather them in their ender. 1. Take heed against decivers (v. 0). 2. Take heed to yourselves (v. 0). 3. Take heed against the time of the Lord's coming (v. 22). the land's coming (v. 32) The one command to all is "watch" The Cross and Discipleship The cross is the pattern of service and suffering for the disciples of Christ. The great demand of Jesus is to give Him the power to use it if no need is to get the cross out of discipleship. They go together, and will, until the world has been rewritten.

MILLER In the interesting little city of Mineral Wells, one of our popular health balers of Texas, both white and colored, met in joint session to hear the testimony of the organization, Embaling, delivered by Prof. Albert H.

Mr. C. B. Cook, president of the State Board, and Mr. T. S. Wright, president of the State Board, were meant for the high standard of excellence which they have set forth in their work, which they and the members of their honorable board are worthy representatives and promoters of the profession, we are appreciative of the part which it is our privilege to play, and which it is our privilege to play it to the very best of our ability. The program rendered on this occasion a significant milestone, which merited an appreciable degree of inspiration to all representatives of the organization. A well-prepared and entertaining program by local talent, featuring the skills and experience of the was pleasingly directed by Mr. C. D. Dement, of Mineral Wells, and the staff of the association, having received the gavel, take very impersonally on the power if organized effect. At the center of the program, the mineral directors was given which died greatly to the pleasure of the members. The morning and afternoon sessions if the last days were conspicuously spent in purpose and action, which resulted in great and increased inspiration, and much to the profit of appreciation of all present, were delivered, and much to the profit of how to Obtain Co-operation from Employees."

It is extremely beneficial that an adress to the Colored Financial There is one thing our association in its infancy, can do to impute the failure of our students, can make the business of your association to build at least in our section high qualifications for entrance and can not be overrun by incompetence. While the population of the United States during the past seven years has grown by 10 percent, and the death rate has been materially decreased, the number of unqualified students must be effected. We must effect an intensive and extensive educational program and it must be launched by this association in the spring of 2014 without let a day of the year pass without something being done toward reaching the good of professional ambition and success. Recommendations I pray for the arrival of the day when our arrival will be accepted by the people an a badge of respect and confidence. Let us not give up, but press for it. Let us not give up our strength. Let us throw all of our strength of our manhood and womanhood into the arms of success.

The man-made own were grilled for action and the report was widespread that they would oppose vigorously the plan which exists to a man-made own, were grilled for action but has never been recognized in Methodist law. The plan was in no sense a scheme for legislation to segregate the Negroes from their fellow Methodists.

ALMOST EVERY CITY NOW INVITES YOU TO MEET THE BUSINESS WOMAN Women are taking an increasingly important place in the business of our group as well as in the general business of the country. Of course, the working woman has always been with us; but the distinctly business woman, as distinguished from the industrial worker by virtue of the responsibility for decisions affecting the welfare of stores, offices or other organizations, is not the same as the working woman her work. Very often this work not only compares favorably with that of men similarly situated, but is of a superior quality. At any rate women do not hesitate to submit to the comparison before the seats of judgment created by the men themselves. The writer is a much travelled man, and the story of the woman in business is not new to him. The country affords too many brilliant examples of administrative womanhood for that. However, a few recently acquired acquaintances compel recognition. In pursuit of duty, several cities have been occupied by women in the earliest example of the higher type. A woman has been encountered. It is this group that prompts a story about their sex in business. They are widely scattered as to location, divergent as to their business interests, and each has a personality quite different from the others. The one point in common is that they have been uniformly successful, each in her own way. Each deserves a story and in time it will be forthcoming. They are mentioned here as a group for the encouragement it will create to the James Chestnut died recently in New York after having just about established solid one of the most highly specialized business organizations in the country, the Domestic Credit Company, a concern that makes investigations as to the mental, moral and vocational hazards of insurance risks, applicants for mercantile credit, and for financial accommodations. The company, the widow of the late Nathaniel Dunn and street; and the widow, Mrs. James Chestnut, mother of two bright little daughters, and a former New York and Washington school teacher, has elected "on carry on" the business with its ramifications reaching all over the country. Her report to the National Insurance Association commanded serious respect from that body and assured her the continued business of the organization of that same organization in Columbus disclosed another woman whose ability to analyze facts and figures and erect from her findings a definite business policy, Miss B. A. Saunders, auditor of the Supreme Life and Casualty Insurance Company, read a paper on "How To Reduce the Cost of New Business" that started insurance executives by the calculating and neutral minded approach and handling of her subject. Her determination to succeed in the business there from trying to rob the Supreme Life, in order to elevate the standard of office executives' ability of his own concern. Miss Saunders is a college-bred woman with teaching experience, much travel and an intense confidence in figures. In the same town there is a Mrs. Williams, substantially built, a widow of that matronly manner that at once makes one think of home and mother. She is a graduate of the University of Dumfries, family, while Mrs. Williams supervises investments in a theatre, office building and other utilities. So nice is Mrs. Williams that even a reporter obtains that sense of "comfortable feeling" in her presence, and so modest is she that an interview with her would disclose no business interests if one did not broach the subject and broach it gently.

While the churches are pro-Christian, the church's solution must also be found for further racial advancement and disaster in the world.

NEGRO PHYSICIAN IS COMING BACK BY ALGENNON B. JACKSON, M.D. (For The Associated Negro Press) The earliest known physician was Imhotep, a medical demedian, the anaclasius of the Egyptians, who flourished in the Nile. His copesus of the Egyptians was exceedingly rich; one papyrus mentioned over seven hundred drugs; hymenology was the main medicine was associated with magic, and was a priestly occupation. The earliest recorded use of secrections for medicine is to be found in the medical papyrus. While there are isolated fragments, the most important medicine is to be found in our knowledge of Egyptian medicine in obtained from the medical papyrus. Most of our knowledge of Imhotep was a Negro, or at least was of Negro extraction. This to my mind raises a nightly interest in the real father of medicine was a Negro physician. Of course, there is a real father of medicine. It should be our business as a race to at least be interested in making as extensive research as possible. The National Medical Association, composed of Negro physicians, denomination of the efforts put forth by us to re-organize our place in society, organization of nearly the best and most progressive physicians, dentists and pharmacists of the country, and a pose of raising their professional standards that a people may be bet. The men and women who are members of this association stand as a model for the profession of twelve millions of American citizens and return to their various bodies.

Hawkins Delivers Keynote Address At AME Meeting Chicago, Ill.—(ANP) The keynote address of the General Conference of the African Methodist Episcopal Church, which is in session here at the Eighth Ingram Archaeological Museum, R. Hawkins, Washington, D. C., financial secretary of the denomination. Of course, Professor Hawkins did not set out to play the role of a historian. Instead, he reported the report of the financial department of the church, of which Bishop A. J. Carey is president. Before he ended the report, however, the cheers and applause, which frequently interrupted the report, were testimonial following the report stamped him as the official keynote of this denominational conference, which is more than five thousand people here and which is the cynosure of all eyes Suggests Progressive Program After rendering the report of the financial department, which indicated that the A. M. E. church is growing more religious and religious influence, Prof. Hawkins launched one of the most progressive programs ever implemented in the church. This program was prefaced with a plea "to put business in our religion and religion by prominent churchmen of the cloth and laity that if adopted, it would serve to solve many of the problems in our church," he made for a more satisfied bishopric ministry and laity. The work of the church," declared Mr. Hawkins, "we must consider it as related to five different groups—the laity, pastors, bishops, and bishops." Discussing the plight of ministers, the speaker criticized the method of paying ministers as now being used, saying, "the ministers," he said, "are sent to the people with the understanding that the church is based on a basis of payment for service, with so much cash and other considerations in keeping with the classifica- eight equipped to serve that group of people who have little experience. Encourage your student, scientist, dentist and pharmacist to join this organization and you will be able to help students from its annual meeting, and he will come bring you to a finer, better, more advanced facility. This association of earnest students acknowledges of whose success is below. the college has forged ahead and now starts out on a program which is designed to prepare students to be one of the largest institutions of our group, both in education and research. Trent Does Notable Work Dr. Trent, during his few years of administration, has instituted many changes and has done the same time to maintain the tradition of his institution. Realizing the need of economy, he has endeavored to all but eliminate the need to the detriment of the college. Cut down the expenses of the college by 50%, to the detriment of a fertile land, adjacent to the college and owned by it, has been turned into a foodstuff department. It has raised almost all of the foodstuff used and some to sell. This is a rathdrum that has no industrial or vocational department. The farm is well kept and apparently well maintained. Apparently, Dr. Trent feels that efficient teachers and a well-filled I-12 school are essential for the new buildings and equipment. This is evident from the type of men which compose the faculty. The men are more educated than the university of the world, including Harvard, Yale, Columbia, University, Northwestern, tion of the particular charge. The pastor has nothing to say concerning where he must go, and must of course be a member of the officers and members of his congregation to pay him. In some cases, the pastor may be most others it is inadequate and it becomes a daily struggle for maintenance. After pointing out the difficulties brought on by such a system and the fact that the minister's needs are not met, the pastor must vent of the people, Professor Hawkins declared that "a higher value should be placed on the ministry, and the field should be made attractive to that type of man. In building and an inviting parsonage to which the pastor can take his family and find the comfort of a place. This also applies to presiding elders." The minister should know what he should know what they are expected to pay, rather than have a running on of an indefinite and uncertain extent, and should know what they are expected to raise on certain Sundays, plus all class duties. Proper attention to the pastor's duties making a contented, happy ministry, and a more hearty co-operation on the part of a faithful and dedicated man. Discusses Pay of Bishops Turning to the bishopric, Professor Hawkins says: "Under our system all members of the church are required to authority, responsibility and remuneration for services all are supposed to work in harmony, co-ordination and remuneration in a provincial districts into that of one great connectional system. That the bishops stand at the head of this system is a very important methodism. There is, of course, the big question as to whether or not the bishops are to commute with the responsibilities and duties of this office. "On this point there is considerable doubt as to whether the fact that there are certain prerequisites employed by some bishops which, if they are not properly stipulated in the discipline, would make a considerable increase in their allowance. I think all will agree that from a purely business standpoint, it would be better to change this method by paying our bishops a salary more nearly commensurate with their services and the annual conference that no part of the general funds be diverted from monetary gifts. That such a condition exists, has something to do with the fights made over assign In the name vein Prof. Hawkins pointed out the weak points of the methods of church and suggested that church and suggested that they be commensurate with their service rendered and what their purpose would be to kill the sick and infirm.

HOUSTON, TEXAS, MAY 26, 1928 HOOVER AND THE "RACE QUESTION" Some of the white daily newspapers of the South, and particular one local daily, seem to be greatly perturbed and excited with the order recently issued by Secretary of Commerce Herbert C. Hoover abolishing racial segregation in his department at Washington, D. C. Raising their customary howl and waving the incendiary flag of social equality, these Nordic editors are running true to bourbon force in their editorial tirades upon and bourbon invectives against Mr. Hoover: contending that he has established "social equality" in his department at the national capital, and that his nomination and election to the presidency will endure, supremacy, and enthrone "social equality" between the colored and the white in interracial racism, domestic disorders and internecine strife. Mr. Hoover is one of the most outstanding advocates of efficiency, and this recent order of his, which abolished the segregation of colored employees in his department (a practice he inherited from a preceding administration), was issued to insure and assure a larger degree of efficiency and professionalism not to force members of the two race together along social lines. There can be very little sociability or fraternizing among employees if they give their employer an honest day's labor. Mr. Hoover's attention was called to the fact that many colored employees, who were under the civil service rules and were getting salaries for a higher grade of work, were segregated and forced to do work below their standards, and colored employees in certain sections of the department. When Mr. Hoover discovered that colored civil service employees drawing $2400 per annum, were assigned to $1800 per annum posts merely in order to segregate said colored employees, he readily recognized the fact that the government was paying them a salary based on the number of work and then summoned employees, merely because of racial prejudice be shunted off in some corner of the building and made to work below their civil service classification and salary scale. In abolishing racial segregation from his department, Mr Hoover has simply his duty as any other patriotic American ought to do. (He did not afford to Hubert Work to do a similar order in his department—interior), and the question or issue of "social equality" is not only far-fetched, but it is in reality begging the question and trying to make a mountain out of a mole-hill, a game at which some of these Southern white editors are quite adept. Whenever some black men given a post or portfolio which beckons them to white, some of these Dixie alarms become unduly excited and begin to visualize the black men gripping, enveloping and subduing the nation and relegating "white supremacy" to the archives of antiquity. Under Democratic governors in several Northern states, Negroes hold important posts, work beside the men and women, become unduly excited and begin from such sections regarding the bugaboo of "social equality". During the two national administrations of President Grover Cleveland a Negro served as registrar of the United States treasury, with quite a number of white employees connected with department; and even the late President Wilson, when first elected to office, tendered a copy to an Oklahoma black man to accent the post. Tammany Hall, chief backer of Governor Alfred E. Smith for the Democratic presidential nomination, has several Negroes occupying official positions in the same rooms with whites in New York City, and Southern newspapers are not showing any situation. In fact, New York City has a strong and powerful colored Democratic organization, and the issue of "social equality" is never raised when it comes to distributing some of the pie to the "fairly" chbony-bud Democrats. The issue of "social equality" working side by side, are placed in the category of being "social equals," then numerous Southern plants and industries are guilty of instituting and maintaining a policy of "social equality" between the white and colored races. For the lack of a better term, so many white Southerners confuse "social intermingling" with "social equality," neither of which is authorized by law, custom or force; for no effect, statute can compel persons to be social equals who not favorable to or inlined along such lines. These belated attacks upon Mr. Hoover by the Dixie newspapers will have no appreciable effect upon his candidacy, and The Informer is of the opinion that they could serve their Democratic party by making their editorial eyes on Tammany Hall and the "sidewalks of New York!" Just to refresh some of these Southern white editors' minds on the origin, history and tradition of the national Republican party, the Informer points out that the party sprang into existence principally on the issue of human rights, liberty and freedom, with the enslaved Negro as the fundamental cause for the birth of this new political party; and from 1860 until 1928 the Republican party has not only been the Negro's bulwark of safety, but this same party has been instrumental in upholding, safeguarding and maintaining American ideals and In fact, it has been the only political party in the country big enough, courageous enough and democratic enough to occupy such high ground, and all the alloyes, rantings and cravings of a coterie of Dixie editors can not sway Mr. Hoover from his course of holiness in the party in the middle and confidence the rank of Americans have in the party of Lincoln, Grant, Roosevelt, Coolidge and Hoover! America's Greatest Weekly Newspaper RESTATING OUR PARTISAN POSITION Having been the first colored editor of this state and section of the country to openly espouse the candidacy of Hon. Herbert C. Hoover for the Republican presidential nomination; and having worked in conjunction and harmony with the regular Republican organization in Harris County, headed by R. B. Morris, after a truce was agreed upon during the late winter to unite the two parties in a faction, the Republican program a program of pessimism (which was ultimately consummated), this writer was chosen as one of the 30 delegates from Harris County to the recent state convention. For the first time in eight years there was no genuine split in the local Republican forces, and, while a few dissatisfied and disgruntled Republicans of色 essayed to hold another county convention here, their own defenders, Captain John Elgin and C. C. Littleton, took the position before the state executive committee at Dallas, Monday, May 21, that these colored "holsters" really had no case, the captain making the motion to seat the Morris delegates. Having been elected and seated as regular delegates, there was nothing else for the Harris County colored delegates and alternates to do honorably except to remain in the deliberations of the convention to which they were elected as representatives. To have done otherwise in the face of our local harmony program would have been the grossest act of perfidy and treachery. While this editor and paper have endorsed the Hoover candidacy; worked in harmony and harness with the local leaders; insisted upon an instructed delegation, if the uninstructed groups were anti-Hooverites, neither this editor nor the Informer has ever endorsed the Creager-Nole administration of partisan affinity that he would find that our position was somewhat, in this situation, of no consequence. With approximately 12 Negroes in the Crealer-Note convention as delegates and alternates (with about 5 or 6 votes between them), criticism is being hurled and will be hurled at those who were members of this convention, due to the fact that the Crealer-Note regime did not consider a single Negro when it came to voting on the candidates and electing delegates and alternates, or presidential electors. This editor, starting months before the convention, began an agitation for racial representation on the Republican delegation from Texas to the national convention of the party; and, as secretary of the Independent Colored Voters' League of Texas, which held a statewide conference at Dallas, March 4, 1928, it befall our lot to introduce a "harmony resolution" setting forth our objectives and naming or suggesting two colored men for positions in the party. The Negroes were adopted, and there the matter virtually ended, though a few colored Republicans kept up a constant and persistent agitation for this type of recognition. When National Committeeman R. B. Crealer, titular head of the Texas party, refused to confer with some of the leading Negroes of Texas in an effort to patch up the internal differences and affect a united party. The Informer saw the handwriting on the wall, as it related to Negro delegates, or to a Negro delegate from the state-a-large to the national parley of the party. In refusing to place a single colored Republican on his delegation to the national convention, either as delegate or alternate, Mr. Creager is merely living up to his well-earned reputation as being a confirmed believer and firm advocate in the "illy-white" doctrine; and when some of the leading white Republicans of the state are convinced that Mr. Creager and some of his Nordic Negrophoses from this course and show their wisdom of pursuing a real Republican and American policy, it is absurd and preposterous to criticise and hang in effigy a handful of black men for not being able to get the race representation on the Creager-Nolte "illy-white" delegation. This writer was not a candidate for any such position, per se, but we believed before the convention and still believe that such action on the part of the Creager convention was not only unwise but also unjust. Mr. Creager is not a candidate of the party in this state, and seriously hamper the candidacy of Mr. Hoover in doubtful and pivotal states, where Negroes constitute the balance of power in national elections, if this "illy-white" delegation is seated at Kansas City and their action given official approval and endorsement. Mr. Creager, having pulled off this stunt before and gotten by with it, seems to be of the opinion that he knows his lines; but we have a hunch that such unrepublican and unfair actions are laden with dangerous, if not in reality loaded with dynamite or nitroglycerine. TEXAS HUNS START LEAGUE SEASON It remained for a gang of barbarians and hoodlums in East Texas to place this state back in the Lynching League and thereby qualify for the 1928 season, though off to a late start, by lynching a colored American. Charged with killing an officer of the law and seriously wounding another guardian of 'o' the law, an irate mob of Shelby County men, broke into a tree on the court house lawn, according to newspaper reports. This demonstration of savagery, barbarism and anarchy marks the first mobocratic incident in Texas for some time, and again places Texas in Judge Lynch's infamous and dastardly loop. We have been waiting to see what action our constitution-loving governor is going to take in this matter, since he is such a zealous defender of law and order and bitter foe to any person who nullifies, ignores or overrides the written laws of the state and nation! Perhaps he was so engrossed with his coalition with the At Smith Democrats of Texas, at the Democratic State Convention in 1928, that he was called off and officially called to his attention yet; or it may be that, for the time being, our law-enforcing governor, is more concerned with the living than in the dead; more interested in democracy at Beaumont in May and at Houston in June than in mobocracy and "hellocracy" in Shelby County in May! Maybe our governor has already issued a statement concerning this mob violence; perhaps he has already dispatched rangers and spear investigators to find out the criminals in whom he is bringing them to justice! We wonder if it is possible that such steps and actions have been taken, and the publication of the same escaped our attention? When the United States Supreme Court outlawed and invalidated the "white man's primary" statute of Texas, our governor urged the state legislature to write another statute seeking to set forth a legal tribunal on the highest legal tribunal in the country, and then after same was submitted and enacted, he grew indignant when the Democratic state executive committee did not invoke same in their official call for the recent presidential preferential primary conventions. To be consistent, the governor should now urge the passage of a new statute, the Texas legislature to outlaw lynching and to help secure for every man in this state a fair and impartial trial by a jury of his peers. Those East Texas hoodlums and mobocrats, who took the law in their own hands and proceeded to mete out summary punishment to an American citizen for an alleged or crime, have been accused of lynching a contender for titular honors in the Lynching League of America.
